A Few Questions

[snake007]

I came home yesterday and saw my cousin putting an earth worm he got from straight outside, into my tank, I ran to stop him but it was 2 late, he didnt even wash it.
My baby pink convict caught it and swallowed it whole.
What should I do?
The worm was longer than him and wider than his mouth he managed to get it in, Is he going to get sick?

Another thing - 2 of my danios are at the bottom of my tank going round in circles with eachother, why are they doing this?

Thanks

The earthworm shouldn't pose a problem unless he chokes on it.

Couldn't say about your danios. What sexes are they?

Can't really say about the worm but I know some aquarists feed earthworms.
You danios are most probably displaying to each other.
This can be to sort out pecking order or if it's a male and female possibly a spawning dance.

Its a male and female.
The convict seemed to enjoy it but is looking a bit plump now.

The earthworm should be okay as long as it hadn't been taken from a place where pesticides were used.

Chances are it may have been beneficial to this fish to have the occasional live food, but if you do, buy packs of bloodworms etc from your local fish supplier

When I kept Zebra Danios, I saw them do this on a few occasions, and I assumed it was spawning, though I never actually saw any eggs being released. Search on YouTube for "Zebra Danio Spawning", see if that looks like what you witnessed.

Sounds like spawning to me. Mine used to do it a lot and then the eggs would be laid onto a nearby plant. I managed to save a couple of them on numerous occasions.
